Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2003 10:27:14 -0500 Follow-up: IRC with Linus cleared up some questions for, and he indicated that http://www.superdroidrobots.com/rs232.htm sells the required equipment. I'm still not sure which type, 1, 2, or, 3 would work best for me. I'd still like a thorough tutorial. The web pages in which Jörg describes the process, and provides software to facilitate it, all seem to be missing: http://joerg.hohensohn.bei.t-online.de/archos/uart_boot http://joerg.hohensohn.bei.t-online.de/archos/flash/flash_sourcecode.zip -----Original Message----- From: TP Diffenbach [mailto:tp_at_diffenbach.org] Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2003 1:21 PM To: Rockbox_at_Cool. Haxx. Se Subject: Please explain the UART boot hardware mod to a chimpanzee I'm not sure why I don't just give up and forget about portable music, but.... Will somebody please explain what's required for the UART boot mod? Please bear in mind that I know nothing about soldering or electronics, so please use small simple and unambiguous words. And diagrams or pictures if at all possible. (Ok, I have a 15-watt grounded soldering iron. I've used it to re-attach a couple of wires that came loose in my cheep-o PC headphones, allowing me to once again hear sound from the left ear-piece.) As much as possible, please make your directions like a recipe to be used by a chimp: e.g., "Go to RadioShacck, ask for a globizit with a foobitute of 2.7 and an amplitude of 6. The globizit will look like a door-knob covered with pencil erasers. It should cost less than 10 dollars." Please don't assume that /anything/ regarding electronics will be known by, or obvious to, me. For example, I will not know what kind of wires or solder to use. I will not know what a "ground" wire is, but I will understand "the red wire" or "the leftmost wire". Thanks for your time and attention. --Tom PS: I've been waiting for an answer to this since yesterday, only to figure out I must have sent it using my personal email address, which is not subscribed to the rockbox list. As a result, my message was rejected. Is there any chance that rejected messages could be bounced back to the sender, so I'd know to use the right sending account? Thanks.
